The clean has become a regular movement for experienced lifters well versed in the basic lifts. It works like magic for those looking for improved athletic performance. It's a combination of the deadlift and front squat.
The power clean is an excellent movement-for the appropriate lifter. But somehow they muscle it up and catch it in a position that makes them look like an intoxicated walker (a zombie for those who aren't fans of the walking dead). Then, they walk up to the bar to set up with a terrible starting position: Knees forward, and with a disengaged back. Before they attempt the lift, an over-indulgence of chalk is applied to their hands, followed by a LeBron esque clap to pump them up. Someone loads up more weight than they should in an attempt to show off. As a result, the clean is being abused in weight rooms across the country. However, the level of coaching needed to improve one's technique in the Olympic lifts is far behind the number of people attempting them. The revolution has done a marvelous job of introducing people to strength training. The rise of Olympic weightlifting has led many newbies and ex-athletes to trade in their running shoes for barbells.
